waste gate or not

1tonpower · Jun 9, 2015

I'm going to be doing studs soon and I'm on the fence about adding a waste gate since it'll be apart. I'm running innovative tunes, egr is deleted already. The truck is used more for work then play. Often pulling heavy. Any mod or upgrades are based off reliabilaty/driveabilaty, adding power is a welcome side affect.

Is it worth my wild to add the waste gate? And whose kit is better for my application.

There really isn't a negative side effect to running one. It will keep drive pressure issues in check all of the time which will make everything from gaskets to turbos last longer and perform better.

We offer a simple kit that installs quickly and is easy to set. It bolt directly to the factory manifold and doesn't require any fabrication.

Stock turbos or modified stock turbos then yes, back pressure will be high on large tunes.

Can this be added cab on/everything intact?

Yes, it's a very easy install. Plenty of guys doing this instead of studs if they are keeping the stock turbos.

Where does your wastegate kit attach to? I've looked around on the website a bit...

Drivers side exhaust manifold.

How exactly? A pic would be most helpful.

It attaches to the crossover pipe down by the drivers side manifold that fed the lower EGR cooler. Look on the HSM site at the product and scroll down to the bottom and download the instructions for a clearer idea.

That makes more sense, thanks! I'm deleted and don't have that pipe anymore.

No worries, if the pipe has been removed you can still use the HSM kit, the flange is the same where that pipe bolted to behind the turbos. However you will have to fabricate your own dump pipe to go from the wastegate to under the truck since the one with the kit will be too short.

Did you just put a block off plate on the manifold?

I believe this is the gate that come w/H&s kit. Not sure it it'll help but can't find my install instructions.

Its all good.. I honestly thought maybe I was missing something.. haha

Thanks guys.

I couldnt find the instructions either, I looked before posting!

The pics cleared it up, and are exactly what I thought. The H&S kit is meant to attach to the end of the EGR catalyst pipe, which most people remove eventually, usually after it breaks and starts leaking.
